Mr. Buck is still true to his former tactics «â€"â€"bold assumption and reokle«s assertion. In the very outset he shows his trickiness. He pretends to be much surprised that thr author did not affix his name to the publicstion, alâ€" though he stands selfoonvicted uf disengen nousness, for be admite that the " Journal," which stated the pamphlet to be anonymous, was the source whenee he derived his fir«t intimation of its expected appearance. But passing this, I may ask Walter Buck, how the impersonality of the author of the paper can -& its contents? It may possibly have deprived Mr. Buck of the opportunity of lndni:.n{‘il personalities, and poor wit, but I apprehend it did not alter its line of argument, nor change the nature of its data.

A rate of three or four per cent might increase the general revenue, but fifteen would merely ofter a bonus to smuggl~ ing. It would be preferable to postpone the proposal to next session, when the whole subject might be comprehensively considered, and meanwhile people anticipating legislative action would take steps towards freeing themâ€" selves from the naisance.
